hateful - Story 61165 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The music, a thumping bass, vibrated through Ethan’s chest, mirroring the unrest inside. He spotted Sarah, his ex, across the room, dancing with a man whose face he didn’t recognize. The sight ignited a flash of pure, unadulterated fury.

He downed his drink in one gulp, the alcohol a poor shield against the invading emotions. He circled the dance floor, his gaze fixed on her, calculating. He bumped into someone, spilling a drink, offering a curt apology.

He wasn’t sure what he wanted, but he knew he wanted something, something that would stop the ache in his chest, the burning in his eyes. He willed her to look his way. She didn't.
